Amazon previews Alexa AI Multi-Agent SDK, integration with partners.com

Daniel Rausch, vice president for Alexa and Echo, took the stage at Amazon’s (AMZN) annual Devices & Services event to offer a glimpse into Alexa+’s future by breaking down the technical components of how Alexa connects to hundreds of APIs to get stuff done. Through Experts and deep knowledge integration, Alexa+ will work behind the scenes to seamlessly coordinate multiple services – from making a dinner reservation for two via OpenTable to booking an Uber (UBER) for your friend to meet you at lunch and texting them your plans. Talking about a future full of agents with specialized skills and interoperability between agents, Rausch showed Alexa+’s integration with Suno where you can turn simple, creative requests into complete songs, including vocals, lyrics, and instrumentation. He announced a preview of the new Alexa AI Multi-Agent SDK that will let brands showcase their agent alongside Alexa. Lastly, Rausch showed a glimpse of a future capability that will enable customers conversationally create and edit grocery lists on the fly, revise a list based on dietary preferences, and add ingredients to an Amazon Fresh order. The experience will also integrate with Whole Foods and partners like Grubhub (JTKWY).
